Suspension
The quality of the suspension in a 3 wheel double buggy is essential to how it is easy for you and your baby/s to push. It is crucial to enjoy a smooth ride since babies feel every bump in the road. This is particularly true if you are driving on rough terrain, such as grass or roads that are not paved. Some models come with front tires that lock to help maneuver and get over obstacles like curbs.
Some models have tyres with air filled which are ideal for all-terrain rides, but they are susceptible to punctures. Make sure you have an extra set of tyres in the trunk. Some models have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed to absorb bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, but they could cause discomfort for your child should you decide to run.

Folding
A three-wheel double buggy folds very well for storage. You can find options that fold flat and then stand up (as if they were in a pushchair) and also those that pop up to reveal an umbrella-style fold, with the option of a brake operated by hand. The more wheels the buggy is equipped with, in general the easier it will be to maneuver over rough terrain. This is particularly true when the wheels are larger than average - this will give you more stability and make it less likely that your child are likely to tip over or fall over.
